Does the drum turn during the wash/rinse programs or is it only only fast spin that it fails to work

If there is no sign that water has flooded the conditioner chamber it is likely that the water valve that allows water to flow into the conditioner chamber has failed. The cold water valve assembly usually consists of a couple of valves manufactured as a unit. One part directs water to soap...

It slipped between inner and outer drum - there is a gap. I sometimes find money lying on the gasket of our machine. Finders keepers, loser weepers.

Microwaves are great for heating things up be it leftovers and containers of dessert rice and the like. You can "cook" something like scrambled eggs true but for good old fashioned cooking you need a proper oven. They are a great invention but they do have their limitations!!!!! A pudding...

Not sure what it is you have dislodged. I was referring to tray where conditioner is held. Usually water flows into tray when timer gets to softener cycle and no other time. Sometimes there is a little cap in the tray that can be removed.- it syphons the conditioner out when it begins to be...

PS have you checked to see that exit for softener is not blocked with gunge. Often there is a small cap that acts as a siphon and this can get clogged up. Pull this off clean it and any hole there is for softener to run out. However even if this is clogged there would be evidence that the...

Sounds like the valve will not open Not sure if this is a separate valve or if it is twinned or tripled up. Take cover off machine and look at where water pipe enters softener container. Trace back to water valve(will have wires going to it). Usually easy to replace. SWITCH OFF MACHINE BEFORE...

Steve Yes we are using a 20 year old Creda and it is still going strong! No fancy keypads or gizmos. Just a slide control to vary the power and a mechanical timer with a bell! I won it in a competition. Think it was worth about £180 then. It might be a bit low power at 600/650w but built...

Assuming it is not the plug fuse the fuse is inside. Likely to be caused by anything but more likely a faulty diode and or capacitor. Thse will cost a few quid for diode and capacitor £10-£25. Hardly worth paying for these when you can get a 700w microwave in Woolies or Tesco for £25 plus...

See www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk forum for 15 Julu 2007

I have not seen the innards of this machine and gave ad vice from experiences of earlier models. A similar forum on UKwhitegoods suggests that belt replacement on later Credamodels is pretty difficult.Perhaps some contributors can come up with information on the belt change on this modeland if...

I have successfully removed and replaced the faulty heater element from my machine. It required a bit of brute force and ignorance. Does anyone out there know any tips that facilitate the removal of the said type of heater that does not involve a lot of cursing and swearing or damage to the...

Open the door and grab one of the paddles. Can you turn the drum freely by hand?. If so all is likely to be well. Don't worry about the bearing. The back of the drum in Creda driers I have seen lies against a large circular felt pad stuck to the the inside of the rear panel that allows the drum...

Why worry about the bearing. The belt is probably lying in the base of the cabinet. Get one the same size and fit it by removing the front panel of the machine underneath the main control panel. Useful if you have 3 hands. Hold the belt temporarily in place on the drum with tape. Its always a...

www.emwelec.co.uk do a module for £29.90 plus vat. If there is no rush then get to the local tip. Some guys are helpful and will let you take a machine away -as long as the bosses aren't about. I usually give them a fiver - you won't buy any piece for a washing mchine at that price. No guarantee...

Does the trum turn during rest of wash cycle or is it just the spin cycle?

Is it not called a paddle? Not sure aboutHotpoint but Hoover type slides into place but is held in position by self tapping plastic screws that come through outside of inner drum to screw into paddles. With these you can't readily replace as they were originally fitted unless you want to...

Try EMW Electronics for module

Does this have separate module from timer. Other posts indicate problems with module. Not cheap to fix£100

Just seen prices for new modules. Absolutely horrendous! I can see why you tried one from ebay. You could try EMW Electronics. They do a variety of models. Alternatively if the machine is more than a few years try your local council yard. While thay are not supposed to give out machines a...
